Facelift and Necklift

It is a daycare procedure and you will be discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery.

You will be seen by our anaesthetist before surgery and then admitted on the day of surgery. The surgery is conducted under general anaesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. A small cut is made in the hairline and hidden areas of the face. Excess skin is cut out. The muscles under the skin are tightened. The skin is then draped over the facial structure to produce an ample amount of tightness to give a youthful appearance. The wound is closed with stitches. You will have a dressing applied to give pressure on the operated area. Occasionally a small tube might be placed to drain blood. You will be given some painkillers and antibiotics and discharged on the same day evening.

You will have some swelling and bruising which is normal. There will be a follow-up appointment after 1 week to check the wound and remove the stitches. Most of the swelling goes down in a week, but final results can be usually seen after 6 weeks of surgery when the swelling and bruising completely recedes.
